Albeit a small location, it is definitely mighty with its multi-paged menu and supremely efficient service staff. The food here is not only fresh and full of flavor, it's also served piping hot, straight from the kitchen! In all honesty, it's a solid 20 - 30 minute drive from home but I'll tell you what, it's 100% worth it. From the well-seasoned aroma that greets you upon entry to the price, quality and quantity of food, you simply cannot be disappointed. We keep coming back with no regrets. Highly recommend you stop by if you are in the area. And if you are serviced by our good pal, Alex, say hello! He is amazingly friendly and helpful. (Part of the many reasons we love coming here! )

If you're craving a dose of addicting Chinese food, look no further than China Hooooooooouse! This…read morelittle nugget is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary warehouse rave! It'll have your taste buds dancing like they just popped a hit o' puuuuuure molly!! First, let's talk about the plentiful vegan options: You'll find an array of dishes that are clearly marked with veg! It's like a secret code you give the doorman on your way into that underground party. But this party concentrates on delivering plant-based come-ups, son! Now, onto the flavahs! The olfactory decadence here can not be overstated. From the crispy spring rolls to the savory Kung Pao meatless, every bite will have you licking your little finger-tutting digits. Order your Kung Pao, with "Extra Pow" and your taste-buds will be burning up like the dance floor during a double-drop Tiësto track! And let's not forget the Mapo Tofu -- this dish is extra spicy and comes loaded with gobs of Chinese peppercorns that will numb your mouth into a state of sub-lingual disassociation. It's like ketamine for your taste buds! The ambience is warmer than the center of cuddle-puddle. And the staff? They're like your culinary POI spinners, ready to dose you with MSG so good you'll leave the restaurant and have to head straight to the Zendo Psychedelic support tent So, if you're itch'n and twrk'n for some top-notch Chinese cuisine, make your way to China Hooooooooouse. With such mouthwatering flavors you may find yourself rolling face. ...and don't forget your sugary fortune cookie at the end. These little biscuits are like an asian kandi-flip. Now go get your om nom nom noms on! #PLUR

Good value Thai food. Nothing extravagant. Typical and decent. Would recommend dine-in cause taste…read morebetter when food is just made. It's like a mom and pop shop?, family owned? Avoid going there on busy times because 2 workers can't handle more than 4 customers. When busy/holidays, limping lady states at least 1-2 hour wait. Also, they raised the prices, so if business is going well, shouldn't they hire another worker? Every time I come here, service is super slow! They always keep saying sorry and thank you for waiting. Recent interaction, she made us wait 20 min before stating the wait is 1 hour. She doesn't know which customers to take care of first: food to-go customers Or dine-in customers first.. what do you guys think??? She doesn't work efficently especially under pressure. They need to be able to handle customers, register, buss tables, cook, make drinks and customer questions/complaints. I highly recommend hiring someone who can handle every thing with 1 cook OR hire another person equals 3 workers total especially on busy times/days/holidays. I'm empathetic that she's limping but if they want their business to survive, they need help. 2 stars for now. 1 for food and 1 for customer service. Til then, I'll build enough patience again to come back, try their other foods and hope to see improvements. Happy eat's ya'll!

We have tried Dragon Noodles - a favorite, chicken satay, fresh spring roll - the peanut dipping sauce was a little disappointing. Panang curry, fish cake (Tod Mun), spicy Kaffir fish- a little weak in the flavor department. occasionally you can taste the kaffir flavor; the fish was fried well but was not spicy at all. Service has been friendly during ordering and pickup. The one time we dined, service was great.

Service was good, very kind and helpful.

The dumplings were good, juicy and fresh. All other dishes did not seem fresh or flavorful. Garlic noods were mushy made with what seemed to be jarred garlic. Lemon pepper chicken had dry lemon seasoning sprinkled on top (too tart), and were very dry. Pho broth was thick like sweet n sour, noodles were overcooked. Chili oil at the table was dark brown and smelled bad.

We had the chicken teriyaki plate, the salmon plate, lunch bento of beef teriyaki and spicy tuna roll, and negri sushi lunch (9 pieces). If you love avocado, then you are in for a treat. They put avocado in just about everything! The spicy tuna roll was pretty good - great texture and had a nice spice level. The beef teriyaki had a lot of fat in it and the teriyaki was a little flat. The bento box came with soup and salad. Soup was actually pretty good - I thought they had a generous amoutn of seaweed and tofu and the soup was flavorful - not watered down. The sushi was fresh and presentation was nice. Portions were generous too. I did not taste the chicken teriyaki but it did look yummy and my son did eat it all so it must have been good if not decent!:-) Seems to be a lot of locals frequenting this place. I would come back heere again and try the other bento options as well as a la carte sushi.

Kenny's Cafe is not fancy and by no means a fine dining establishment, but if you're into a clean restaurant with staff that takes care of their customers. Then perhaps this is a great place to try. I've worked in a restaurant for nearly half my life and I can honestly tell that it takes quite the effort to uphold a level of cleanliness and consistency especially given the fact that they've been there for over 30 years. I had their salt and pepper pork, well portioned, crispy batter, decently priced with all the right fixings and flavors.. I was not disappointed. I've also tried their prime rib which is a special every other Friday of the week and for $30, you get two sides and a soup. I was impressed with what they served and everything was cooked to standard. (Which is hard to find nowadays) Too clean and well kept to be a hole in the wall but with mountains on one side and the ocean in a tucked cove on the other, Pacifica is definitely worth the trip.

The war won ton was just the won tons with no fillings and the broth was good, but it was not what we expected. The seafood soup was mostly broth with a little bit of fresh mushrooms and French cut green beans and finely we found a couple shrimp and a few bits of calamari. The sweet and sour pork was mushy and didn't have much flavor. The kung pao shrimp was mostly onions! The next ingredient was green peppers and garlic. There were peanuts and still more onions. We are not fans of onions, so this was not a good surprise. The rice was fine but not special. We also ordered plain steamed vegetables and shrimp, which we will try tomorrow night if we are willing to eat this again. Service 5/5 Food 2.5/5 Ambiance 4/5 lovely patio in back of the building and nice linen table clothes. Good window seating.

We sat down in this homey restaurant that felt like we'd been transported back in time to 1997 or so which I liked for a change. Nestled in an unassuming strip mall by some martial arts studio and a few other restaurants and stores. We ordered way too much food and the plates were huge. Highlights were the fried shredded pork with jalapenos, hot and sour soup, and orange chicken though everything was great. Best hot and sour soup I've ever had, great spice level and depth of flavor. The fried shredded pork was seasoned perfectly and went great with everything. We also had bbq pork chow mein and I was pleasantly surprised by the bbq pork being obviously house made fresh and not dried out bright red 40 like most places. Service and value were both great with a huge amount of leftovers and very accomadating but not suffocating service. We had about 7 dishes and it was about a hundred. Probably my second favorite chinese restaurant I've ever been to in my life.

Besides the items I mentioned in earlier reviews, want to shout out the excellent Hot & Sour Soup, full of so many different delicious ingredients, it has become one of my favorite H&S soups of all time. I also love their Black Bean Sauce, with any protein you choose (although I love it with chicken breast) -- it is truly delicious. String Bean Chicken is another favorite. The chefs are two brothers, and the terrific Ricardo, at the front, is one of the chef's sons. They are a wonderful family. If you've bypassed this place but never stopped in, or if you're from the North Pacifica or Montara, Moss Beach or El Granada, it is definitely worth the trip -- it'll become one of your favorite (if not THE favorite) Chinese restaurant on the coast.
